Bacteria Shapes
These are the three bacterial shapes
What are Bacillus, Coccus, and Spirala?
Bacteria reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. Binary fission produces two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
How do bacteria reproduce?
This type of extremophile likes to live at extremely high temperatures.
What is a thermophile?
This rule for life states that organisms respond to their environment.
What is sensitivity?
On the cellular level this is 'food'.
What is glucose?
Bacteria that are rod-shaped
What is bacilli?
This type of gene transfer is from 'parent' to 'offspring'.
What is vertical gene transfer?
This type of extremophile likes very salty environments.
What is a halophile?
The ability to produce offspring/pass on DNA.
What is reproduction?
This incorrect theory for where life came from led to beliefs such as leaving old underwear in wet hay would produce mice.
What is spontaneous generation?
Bacteria that are sphere-shaped
What is cocci?
During this type of horizontal gene transfer bacteria share a plasmid with one another.
What is conjugation?
This type of extremophile likes high pressure.
What is a barophile?
This rule for life is the process of making energy from food.
What is respiration?
What is ATP?
Bacteria that are spiral-shaped
What is Spirilli?
Bacteria 'find' genetic material in the environment and 'absorb' it.
What is transformation?
These extremophiles like high pH conditions.
What is an alkaliphile?
This rule for life is defined as removal of toxic materials.
What is excretion?
This type of extremophile enjoys low pH environments.
What is an acidophile?
The circular DNA of the nucleoid, the absence of membrane-bound organelles, the presence of a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, and the presence of flagella
Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell
This type of horizontal gene transfer involves a latent virus.
What is conduction?
This type of extremophile likes to live in extreme cold.
What is a psychrophile?
Using food/energy to produce new cells or parts of cells.
What is growth?
These type of extremophiles enjoy really 'dry' conditions.
What are xerophiles?
